Remember also that if you intend to actually _keep_ Win2K on this box, 
you should still make use of the NTFS format if you expect any modicum 
of security to be available while using that OS.  The catch is, of 
course, that NTFS is currently (correct me if I'm wrong) supported 
read-only and nothing more on Linux.

You can make use of FAT between both operating systems if, like Eric 
pointed out, you have FAT support in your kernel.  I'm not up to speed 
on FAT32 support, but expect it might be available as well.  If it is, I 
think I would prolly recommend it - FAT16 is pretty crappy.
